Thanks John ,
The type I need are exactly the same as the picture from MBTransit .
Just uncertain if the lug which locates the brake plate is always welded in the same position given that in 1958/59 the A range had 2 different sizes of front brake .
i.e 8" except the standard A7 which had 7" .type Mine require are 8" ?

Im having difficulty explaining .

Regards,
Steve ..
I own a 1955/56 B.S.A Swinging Arm "Golden Flash" , had it since 1976 .

Stephen I have had a look through some parts books and I think the fork slider is the same for either a 7" or a 8" brake.

The parts book for the alternater model B33's which has the full width cast 7" brake shows 42-5076 for the right side slider. The parts book for the 1960 A10 shows the same part number for that type of leg.
